The Next Black Swan Is Already Here.

In finance, a black swan is a rare, unpredictable event with massive consequences. Nassim Taleb coined the term in 2007, just before the 2008 financial crisis exposed the deep rot within global banking.

Taleb argued that broken systems must be allowed to fail. Only then can we build something stronger.

In 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin, a black swan for the banking industry itself. It marked the beginning of the end for the centralised, fragile financial system we’ve blindly trusted for centuries.

Boom picks up where Bitcoin started.
Boom has taken the revolutionary foundation of blockchain and turned it into a real, usable financial operating system, designed for everyone, everywhere.

No middlemen. No gatekeepers. No banks required.

Welcome to financial freedom. Welcome to Boom - www.boom.market

As AI-enhanced cyberattacks increase in frequency, it's only a matter of time before a zero-day exploit cripples centralised banking infrastructure.

What’s your plan B when this black swan event hits?

Whether it’s ordering a pizza or booking your next holiday, all online payments require a bank account—yet over 2 billion adults worldwide remain unbanked, limiting their participation in the digital economy. They rely solely on cash, which cannot be spent online.

Boom Technologies Ltd (“Boom”) bridges this gap by digitising cash and connecting it to the global digital economy, empowering everyone to securely spend, accept, and save cash online—without ever needing a bank, while maintaining robust compliance with AML/KYC regulations. Each transaction is traceable, verified, and compliant with local and international financial regulations.

Digital assets are generally subject to high volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and operational risk. Users should conduct their own due diligence and may wish to seek independent financial advice before engaging in any digital asset activity.

Tokenised Cash on Boom — including the tokenised GBP (bGBP) — should not experience volatility because they are backed 1:1 by GBP-denominated reserves held in-country for the benefit of bGBP holders. These reserves are managed in a Boom Reserve Fund, custodied by regulated financial institutions, and may consist of short-term Government bonds, gold, Bitcoin, and cash.

Boom Technologies Ltd, registered in England & Wales (Company No. 15034868), is not a bank, does not operate as one, and does not intend to become one. Boom is not authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
